The landscape emerged through light and paint and is part of the post-apocalypse series.
This painting will soon be included in my solo show at the Yellow Edge gallery.

'As the light slipped' emerged around ideas of isolation, separation and beauty. Layers of time slips away and forgets while a stagnant object remains.

Slipped meadow emerged around a sense of distance and isolation. A place far away and beautiful.

I wanted to create a landscape of a space between anywhere, a place which could but doesn't exist. The composition is created from parts of real places. The title centres around an electric sound and sense of a moment preceding an atomic blast.

Painted on clear gesso so the colour and texture of the canvas remains and becomes part of the ground of the rice paddy in front of the building. I found the house in Japan while on a residency. Already isolated, I recorded the structure from lots of angles.

This painting was built around a deep purple morning light that seemed to blanket everything in degrees of pinks and purples. Part of the post apocalypse series, the painting was made slowly, beginning in 2019 and completing at the start of 2020.

Part of the post apocalypse series, the painting was built from fragments of spaces and light. Morning orange light with prussian blue shadows, a scene opening to a new and abandoned landscape. The normality of a bungalow at the first stages of receding back into nature.
I was thinking about the suspicion around colour, surface colour and the clown

I wanted to create something distant and isolated, an incongruous place. Tents became an interesting theme because of their temporality, fragility and culture. Tents from my childhood evoke awkwardness for me and cold, damp nights.

I wanted to create a space far away from life, out of place and time and still, perhaps, a place I would like to hide away within.
Interview with Jackson's painting
I found this building in East London. I was thinking a lot about Turner's paintings and the idea of the sublime in painting. Light became important for me in re-contextualising the everyday. Grey building was selected for Create Magazine issue 14 along with 'The Circus Within'

Drawing and sketching is something I like to do for its immediacy and freedom to play, plan or think outside of my usual focus. Planting mushrooms smack bang in the middle of the suburbs or in a Le Corbusier landscape is something which may never happen in a painting, but can happen in a drawing.
The Atom Bomb sketches, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, Hiroshima, Nagasaki. A series of drawings in fine line pen and white gel pen on grey sugar paper. Current day suburbs of the secret cities Los Alamos and Oak Ridge which produced the atom bomb to drop on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 6 and 9 1945.
Part of the monochrome series about colour and the colourless. There is something about drawing in this for me, the movement of the brush on the surface became drawn lines. This painting was exhibited in Salzburg for 17-19 Hz with Amanda Burzic
Part of the monochrome series, this became very much about large scale drawing in paint. It was exhibited in Salzburg for 17-19 Hz with Amanda Burzic
Fence is one of the large scale drawing paintings made within the monochrome series. It was exhibited in the exhibition infrasonic 17-19 Hz at Periscope in Salzburg 2018 with Amanda Burzic
Public toilets was exhibited at Periscope, Salzburg for 17-19 Hz with Amanda Burzic. The five paintings in the show became a series about colour and line and were very much about large scale drawing in oil paint.
One of the five monochrome paintings which was exhibited at Periscope, Salzburg for the 17-19 Hz exhibition with Amanda Burzic in May 2018. The series was about the space between drawing and painting and what happens when colour is removed.
Part of the monochrome series. I was looking at colour in painting by removing it and retaining a painterliness
